Interleague event is on the MLB betting board again with the showdown in Florida as the Florida Marlins take on the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Tampa Bay Rays will be liked in baseball wagering at home in the opener of a three-game series on Friday.

Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Florida Marlins enter into Friday's Interleague series above .500 for the second time in 11 years, and in division contention of their particular leagues.

MLB betting probabilities prefer Tampa Bay on Friday with James Shields pitching. Shields is 5-4 having a 3.64 ERA this season. He is expected to get the start on Friday and be opposed by Florida's Nate Robertson who's 4-5 on the season having a 4.83 ERA. Robertson did not pitch greatly past time out as he allowed 6 runs in a loss to the Mets. He has not pitched well vs Tampa Bay in his career as he's -4 having a 4.76 ERA. He is -2 in his career at Tropicana Field having a 4.63 ERA.

Last time out vs Texas, Shields lost his fourth match of the season. Just three of the 6 runs that he allowed were earned. Shields is 2-1 with a 4.12 ERA in 6 career starts vs the Florida Marlins. Shields has been pretty good at home in his career having a 26-16 record and a 3.44 ERA.

The Tampa Bay Rays have really done nicely vs the Florida Marlins in MLB betting. They have won 8 of the past ten matches vs Florida. Vs the Florida Marlins past year, the Tampa Bay Rays took five of the 6 matches which includes all three in Tampa Bay. 2 of these three matches went under the total.

Florida has not really competed that well on the road this season. They just don't hit as well on the road and their pitching isn't as good. So far this season they have performed poorly, though Florida has the talent to win matches on the road. They are just average in hitting, ranking 14th in the league and they are no better in pitching at 16th in the league.

Tampa Bay has in fact been better on the road this season than at home. At home though in baseball wagering, the Tampa Bay Rays still have a winning record. The Tampa Bay Rays are in the Top five in the league in both hitting and in earned run average. They have the top record in the league for this reason. The Tampa Bay Rays have a lineup packed with talent, and they have one of the better starting rotations in the league.

An all-Florida game attracted little attention in previous years outside the 2 local markets. But the series may commence to heat up with 2 of the Major's most youthful, talent-laden teams competing.

Joe Maddon, the Rays' manager, stated that everyone was trying to make this into a rivalry."They've been better than we have in the past. They've already run their flag up. As we get better, I think at some point, where both teams are playing at a high level, I think you can grow it into one of those."
